Is there any way to decrease the amount of tension in the divider?

Not that I can make out. It's really very tense and tight. My drawers are 14" deep, so I needed to push these back ~3" which was hard to do while still getting the position right. Once it was in, the tension seemed so high that I was worried my drawer would start cracking over time, so I ended up returning these.

I don't think you can decrease the tension. For me, the tension is perfect. They have been in my drawers for almost a year now and are exactly what I was looking for.

TanyaC has it right. The retraction spring or tension is not all that strong, just enough to be sure that when you push the two sides together the screen rolls up properly. You can try using a couple of books on the table inside each foot and hope they are heavy enough to keep it from creeping together, or lay out a string of books between the feet. If you're always going to be using the thing on a 48" table, you might just make and keep a spacer board to put between the feet. None of these are very effective solutions to a serious design flaw.

I try to make it as smooth and flat as possible before feeding it through. I also try not to get it too close to the edge or it folds over. Maybe hold the end a little to keep the tension tight.?

The short answer is - I don't. I have it in a place for use, but because the unit has no tension knob, which I didn't know before I purchased, I'm not using it...a total waste of money and space. I'm actually trying to give it away.

Very simple. There is a knob you tighten or loosen to create more or less resistance.

No tension adjustment on my older model, I recall it was quiet. I stopped using it and made space for an elliptical a few years ago.

No, there's a nob on the side that I believe adjusts the tension for reclining (it doesn't make much of a difference), but otherwise you're out of luck.

This has not been a problem with my machine. Perhaps it was the tape? There is no way to make an adjustment that I know of. Good luck!

A well-made, sturdy product; however, the dividers are in a fixed position 2 and 1/8" separations between each divider.

The tension screw does make a difference. I had that issue at first until I tightened the tension

You can use less pressure, it just takes a little longer. A slightly coarser grind will decrease the amount of pressure needed. A thin silicone pot holder under the cup will keep it form moving on the counter if that is a problem.

I personally don't like spring tensioners. I didn't use mine. I just let the cords hang and trimed the cords to my liking.

Not too much pressure once the clamp is loose use a butter knife or screw driver to pry the two halves apart.

There are 5 dividers that do not slip out. I think you could pull them out if they weren't needed but they would not go back in place without some sort of adhesive.

I don't know of anyway to adjust the tension but I have had something similar happen with another stapler it was because I had it loaded with too long of staple so you might want to check that.

Mine has the dividers attached to one end of the unit and the other end is velcro. Therefore, you can unvelcro and lay a divider flat which removes the divide, but the sections are not able to be reset at any configuration. The standard configurations are four different sizes and I use all the sizes equally. It works pretty well. A really large item I will set outside the unit. Hope this helps.

Yes, you might find that just making less pressure on the spring is a better solution. If the sound is the only problem just put a drop of silicone adhesive on the contact point.
